"Just Around the Corner" by Lyn O'Neal

"Just Around the Corner", oil on board, 11 x 14 inches

After a long time, I'm finally back to painting. I painted this piece last week en plein air at the Linden Hall Antiques farm on Old Stonehouse Rd. in Carlisle. It is so great to be back out there! It was a beautiful day - I was able to find a breezy location and I was so drawn to this little hill leading up past the shed and around the silo to the back of the old bank barn. The groundskeepers were there so the shrubs and lawn were freshly shorn and the morning light was filtering through the trees. Wonder what's around the corner? Antiques to be sure!

It is a great feeling to resume painting after a long hiatus. Especially exhilarating is the feeling when you awake in the morning, knowing that you will be working on something you love.

I like that shadowed red roof above the row of bushes...Is summer just around the corner? I hope so!

Wow, this turned out beautifully, Lyn. What a great use of that space between the barn and silo. Your shadows are, also, so well done.

This is just simply lovely, Lyn. I love vine covered walls!
